08/08/2026: Our review of our dinner with a Box at Les Écus de France in Chennevières
An ideally located establishment, with a magnificent and bucolic view of the Marne River, in a natural setting steeped in history.
However, contrary to what the Box offered (starter, main course, cheese, and dessert of our choice from the menu), the establishment imposed a single set menu chosen by the chef. The presentation of the dishes was elegant and the food decent, but the service wasn't quite up to par: the staff did what they could, but lacked professionalism. The atmosphere also seemed rather peculiar to us.
In short, we mostly felt like we were paying for the view… which, it must be said, is exceptional.
Nevertheless, we had an excellent evening.
One additional minor drawback: €1 per person for parking, the owner explaining that this amount would be paid to the town hall. While this may be justifiable, we found this practice a bit petty and unprofessional, especially after an already substantial restaurant bill.
Beautiful view, nice evening, but a performance that did not totally convince us.
04/08/2026: The food is delicious, the view magnificent, and the service top-notch, especially Mr. Lu Adji.
Well done and best of luck! 😀
